Please note that there are changes in the 2014 Tour Standards that will affect A-Tiers in 2014: •The mileage restrictions have been relaxed. A-Tiers must now be 1,250 miles from a PDGA Major, 750 miles from a National Tour Elite Series, and 300 miles from another A-Tier. •The Minimum Added Cash to the Pro Purse for an A-Tier has been increased to $2000. •An A-Tier MUST upload their unofficial results at the end of each day of competition. •An A-Tier MUST still submit a completed TD Report via email to the PDGA office within 48 hours of completion of the event.

With the current growth in the number of courses and tournament players, the PDGA Tour will easily surpass the 2,000 event mark in 2014. The only thing that isn’t growing concerning the event schedule is the number of weekends available in the year. Despite the somewhat relaxed mileage restrictions, it will still be difficult to fit the A-Tiers into the schedule, so it is critical that TDs submit AT LEAST two possible dates for their event, preferably three. The days of “I’ve always had my event on this weekend” are simply gone - single date submissions (except for concurrent amateur A-Tiers being run with an NT) will NOT receive priority over other events.

The below information is required and must be submitted to the PDGA Tour Manager via email no later than Friday, November 8th to be considered for A-Tier status in 2014. Please note that submission of a request is NOT a guarantee of A-Tier status, some events will still be required to run as B-Tiers in 2014.
